The top 20 contractors at the Homeland Security Department represent more than a third of all business done by contract at the department during fiscal 2011, according an analysis by the Center of Strategic and International Studies.

DHS spent $5.1 billion with the top 20 companies, and $14.2 billion on all contractors. IT and systems integration firms dominate the list, but the two of the top 20, including No. 1, go to shipbuilding companies.

According to the analysis by CSIS, the top 20 are:

Huntington Ingalls Industries – over $1 billion

Computer Sciences Corp. – $473 million

IBM – $470 million

Lockheed Martin – $446 million

Science Applications International Corp. – $249 million

Hewlett-Packard Co. – $236 million

EADS – $203 million

General Dynamics - 201 million

Booz Allen Hamilton – $198 million

Bollinger Shipyards – $187 million

L3 Communications – $181 million

Safran SA – $180 million

Accenture – $156 million

Dell – $156 million

Defense Support Services – $139 million

Unisys – $138 million

GEO Group – $127 million

Northrop Grumman – $120 million

Security Consultants Group – $110 million

Securitas AB – $108 million

Huntington Ingalls Industries is the “ship-building arm of Northrop Grumman that spun off last year,” said Guy Ben-Ari, deputy director and senior fellow of the Defense-Industrial Initiatives Group at CSIS. It is also the prime contractor for the U.S. Coast Guard’s next generation cutters.
